RUNNING MAD

Several Georgia Couuties Infested with
Mad Dogs, and Many People Bitten.
ATLANTA, GA, March I4.-During the
past two weeks there has been wide
spread CONSERVATION over the prevalence
of rabies. There is scarcely a community
which has not been visited by mad dogs.
In Banks, Hancock, Troupe, Ebert,
Forsyth and other counties parties of men
armed with shOtguns are disposing of
unknown dogs at sight. A pitiable death
has Just taken place in Homer, in which
the victim was the ten-year-old son of
Mr.. Lockhart. The little fellow had q
pet Spitz, which bit him one day, play
fully as was supposed.
GENUINE CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA
resulted. The victims sufferings were
excrucieting. He was unconscious much
of the time, with his head and spinal col
umn drawn back. At the mel : mention
of water he would shudder and go into
violent spasms. His death is described
by DR.. Thompson as being beyond por-
trayal.
Great excitement exists in Troupe
county over the ravageS of a rabid animal
there. A dog belonging to DIR. Roberts
left home and was absent several days.
Upon returning last Friday he was
mad, and, though previously docile, he
grew vicious to such an extent as to be
dangerous to man and beast.
An old gentleman, Mr.. Barders, eighty
years of age, was bitten, and is now In
commissions. Passing on, the animal bit
five women and children, besides about
100 head Of stock.
On the night of the dogs return Mr..
Roberts, being unarmed, had to keep
within, while the mad creature had full
run OF the farm, biting all the dogs, cattle
horses and poultry on the place. The
fact that so many persons were bitten has
created the most painful alarm, and mad
stones have been sent for in all directions.
In several other sections similar alarm
exists. Near Sparta Mrs. Wash VIM
was terribly lacerated bys mad dog. The
animal then attacked Bruce TerriIl, but
he killed it.
In Cherokee county there are not less
than fifty mad dogs at large. The three
children of Mr.. Elrod were bitten. The
Oog then went to the house of Mr.. T. A.
Young, where it tore the dress off of one
his little girls.
MduiSOu county WTlI6rt LGlIIES OF q
cow which had been killed there after 3
dog bite, remarked: "The cows actions
were not satisfactory to the family, and
she was killed Immediately"
STRANGE DISEASE
also seems TO affect the cattle. In Canton
a young cow, while grazing leisurely in
the yard of B F. Crisler, suddenly broke
of and ran all over town, clearing the
streets and knocking down fences. 1t
then ran off into the woods and died in
great agony. Other cattle have been
affected thus suddenly with similar result.
This great affection of dumb beasts
creates much speculation as to the
cause. Good authorities sllege that it is
due to the severity of the past winter.
For two weeks in December the ground
was covered with snow, and ever since
the weather has been dry, but with cold
spells of great intensity. 1t is argued
that this great change from the normal
state Of affairs is the cause OF the calamity.

Il mporary purpose, nor upon property
Imported and not yet become part of the
Common mass, aud no discrimination
can be made by any such regulations
adversely to the persons or property Of
other states, and no regulation can
be made directly affecting Interstate
commerce. In the matter Of inter-
state commerce, the United States are, in
the opinion of this court, but one coun-
try, and are and must be subject to one
system Of regulations, and not to multi
tude OF systems 1t seems TO be forgotten
that the people Of this country are citi-
Zens Of the United States as we'll as of
the individual state, and that they have
some rights under the Consti, ution and
laws OF the former, independent of the
latter, and free from any interference or
restraint from them. To deny The state
the power to lay the tax, or require the
license in question, will not, the court
believes, in any perCeptible degree dinin-
ish its resources. Goods, when
brought into state IN COnse-
quence of q sale by drummer, will
be liable 10 taxation, and as much will be
realized as if the tax were imposed be-
fore the sale. To tax the sale of goods
under such circumstances before the sale,
is, in the opinion Of the court, clearly a
tax on inter state commerce itself. II
the employment Of drummers iniuriously
effects local trade, Congress may be aD-
pealed TO TO make such regulations as the
case may demand; and Congress alone
can do this. The confusion into which
the commerce of the country would be
thrown by being subjected to state legis-
latlOn on this subject would be, the
court says, but a repetition Of the dis
order which prevailed under the old Arti-
Giles of Confederation.
The judgment of the Supreme court of
Tennessee is reversed, and the plaintiff
in error is ordered to be discharged.
o inion by Justice Bradley, the Chief
Justice, and Justices Field and Gray dis
senting, on the ground that the law in
question is applicable to drummers COM
ing into the Shelby county district from
other parts Of Tennessee, as we'll as those
from other states, and to relieve the latter
from taxation imposed on the former
would be discrimination against the
citizens Of the state.
A similar decision was rendered-all
the judges coDcurring-in the case OF
George W. COrson, plaintiff in error,
against the state OF Maryland. The
Judgment of the Court of Appeals of that
state is reversed, and the case remanded,
with directions that the plaintiff in error
be discharged.

NO TAXES On DRUMMERS.
Full Text OF the Supreme Court Decision on

Full Text OF the Supreme Court Decision on
the UnconstituttonaIity of the Tax,
WASHINGTON, March "A very impor-
tant question was decided by the Supreme
court to-day. 1t was that no state or
municipality has q right to impose q
license tax upon drummers or travelling
sslesmen from another state, seeking to
eel goods by sample, or otherwise, be-
cause It is an Interference with inter-
state commerce, and is, therefore, uncOn-
stituti0naI. There were two cases-one
from Tennessee and one from Maryland.
The first was that Of Sabine Robbins.
plaintiff in error, against The Taxing
District of Shelby county, Tenn,
in error to the Supreme court
of Tennessee. This case arises
out of the following state CT facts:
Robbins was engaged in Memphis in So
iclting orders for stationery for CIncin-
natl fiTm, and In exhibiting samples for
the purpose Of effecting sales. A state
law, applicable only 10 this one taxing
district, was in force, subjecting ''drum-
meTs" and sill persons not having regu-
larry licensed place of business in the dis
trict, Offering or selling goods by sample,
to tax of SO week or S25 month.
Robbins, who was unlicensed, was ar
rested, tried, convicted and tiued,
and, on appeal, the judgment was af
firmed. The case mas BEEN
brought to this court on Il writ
of error, upon the ground that the Law
imposing the tax is repugnant to that
clause Of the constitution of the United
States, which declares that Congress shall
have the power to regulate commerce
among the several states. The principal
question involved is as to the cOnstitu-
tionality OF the act which imposed the tax,
and II IS IN the opinion OF this court
question of great Importance to the people
of the United States, both as respects
their business interests and their consti-
tutional rights. In long and carefully
prepared opinion by Justice Bradley. the
court holds that:
/. The constitution gives to Congress
the power TO regulate commerce among
the states, and that power is necessarily
exclusive whenever the subjects OF it are
national 10 their character, or admit ONLY
of one uniform system, or plan of regula-
ton.
2. Where the power of Congress to reg
ulate is exclusive, its failure so set indi-
Gates its will that the subject shall De ieft
free from any restrictions or lmpositf6ns,
and v regulation By the states, except
in matters of local concern only, is repag=
nant to such freedom.
8. The only way IN which commerce
between the states can be legitimsteIy
affected by state laws is when, by virtue
of it's police power. and its Jurisdiction
over persons and property within it's linn
it's, state provides for the security of
life, limb, health, comfort and property,
or when it does those things which may
incidentally affect commerce. But in
making such internal regulations state
